Detailed explanation-1: -The primary site of neuron loss in HD is the striatal part of the basal ganglia, with striatal projection neurons being nearly completely lost in advanced HD. Early dysfunction and late loss of cortical neurons is prominent as well.
Detailed explanation-2: -Huntington’s disease is caused by a faulty gene. Cells in parts of the brain are very sensitive to the effects of the faulty gene. This makes them function poorly and eventually die. A parent with the Huntington’s disease gene has one good copy of the gene and one faulty copy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Huntington’s disease is a progressive brain disorder caused by a single defective gene on chromosome 4-one of the 23 human chromosomes that carry a person’s entire genetic code. This defect is “dominant, ‘’ meaning that anyone who inherits it from a parent with Huntington’s will eventually develop the disease.
